What is Mindful Reader?
Mindful Reader is a desktop RSS feed reader for macOS designed around intentional reading. Instead of showing hundreds of unread items, it surfaces 3 articles at a time from across your subscriptions. There are no unread counts, no infinite scroll, and no notifications competing for your attention.
Rate articles on a 5-point impact scale to track which feeds are worth your time. The app monitors feed health and gently prompts you to unsubscribe from sources that consistently score low. Everything is stored locally on your Mac — no account, no cloud sync required.
AI-powered article summaries are available as an optional feature using your own API key (Anthropic or OpenAI). The app works fully offline without AI.
One-time purchase. No subscription.
